Because this thread has died a death is Kendrick isn’t back what do you think the trio will look like? Suddenly Billie being busy on the Saturday (the day we expect McCartney to play) doesn’t seem like such an issue anymore. I don’t think @Suprefan is right about Billie having a Sunday date at the O2. No idea why they wouldn’t announce it when the Saturday date sold out. Seems a bit weird to announce another show months later when all the others have sold out. 
 

If the Friday is available she would probably be my first pick, but I wonder who else could step in for Kendrick. If R&L haven’t got Dave I can see it being him… or… Dua.

Lol.

It's sad that I saw Billie announce the new date and this was the first thing I thought of 😁.

@Matt42  is sadder than everyone stuck waiting for the tower bridge to work again

Was it yourself that insisted this was a thing? I’d just seen it announced and came knowing that somebody would have tagged Matt. 
 

Kudos!

So Billie is off the table then?

Straight shootout between Kendrick and Reg?

Dua Lipa too, I think she's the most likely backup for either Kendrick or Taylor.

She is doing 3 nights in a row on the 10th, 11th and 12th. It's possible she could do the Friday night at Glastonbury

Just had a look at her dates, she’s in Paris on the Wednesday then free Thursday and Friday then two nights in London. She does have a few spells where she does three in a row, but she also has a few consecutive nights off too.

[Hugh Jass]

Actually, scratch what I said above… at no point in her European dates does she have two consecutive nights off…

But how many festivals is she doing?

Not totally. I said it was possible given the dates but also brought up the 26th date getting added. Then it just took til now for the announcement. It now puts the likelihood of her being there much lower given that it must be friday and requires 3 nights in a row.

She’s doing a few three nighters and hasn’t got two consecutive nights off anywhere on the tour.

Cant decide if this makes her more or less likely.

Billie in for Kenny, Relton in for Taylor? 

[henry bear]

More chance of Billy Ray Cyrus playing than Billie Eilish

Lets put it like this. She can play, and the helpful thing is that its the first of 3 performances in a row. The downside is that you cant expect a varied show from whatever her tour is going to comprise of production wise or song wise. Itll be a run by the numbers type of deal and youll have to determine if a standard show passes the glasto test or not. If she was going to go out of her way to make it special there isnt just a day off before the date and such and cramming it into a tour.

Will publicly send my apology. You were right. I apologise. Extend the purchase of a beer to you at the festival. @Suprefan

 

They took a while to announce this though didn’t they? Bit strange.

[priest17]

A televised performance the night before two massive O2 shows seems unlikely. It's one thing doing three nights in the same place it's another throwing a different place in there for one of the nights. I'm not convinced this helps her case.

[kingcrawler]

Both are TBC

This is exciting isn’t it? Properly feels like things are getting back to normal when we’ve got genuine rumours to talk about.

Oh

 

My god.

[nikkic]

No Kendrick then? Balls. 

[kingcrawler]

10 months away and I’m stressing about clashes already. Fair play if they have managed that. Billie Eilish is a massive headliner and I had QOTSA down as a too small to headline but very big sub, so getting them as an Other headliner is a pretty big deal. They’re certainly a fair bit bigger now than they were when they last played there.

[WestCountryGirl]

God it's bloody exciting to be seeing headliner rumours coming about.
